ams OSRAM AG TCS3701 color and proximity sensor

The TCS3701 is a very-high sensitivity light-to-digital converter that features ambient light and color (RGB) sensing in parallel with IR proximity detection. The Ambient light and color sensing function provides five concurrent ambient light sensing channels: Red, Green, Blue, Clear, and Wideband.

Key features

• Ultra-high ALS and color sensitivity
• 1024 X dynamic range by gain adjustment only
• High proximity crosstalk compensation
• On-chip self-calibration of ALS and proximity functions

Additional features:

Other Features

• 0.18 µm process technology with 1.8 V I²C
• Companion non-predictive asynchronous algorithm

Benefits

• Enables maximum design flexibility for operation behind Organic LED displays or dark inked glass
• Enables dark room to sunlight operation
• Reduces power consumption
• When combined with a VCSEL emitter enables operation behind OLED
• Enables ambient light measurement during display blanking periods

Applications

• Display Backlight Control
• Display Management
• Ambient Light Sensing
• Color Temperature Sensing
